Queer Arts Festival + SUM gallery produces, presents and exhibits with a curatorial vision that favours challenging, thought-provoking work that pushes boundaries and initiates dialogue. We produce Vancouver's summer Queer Arts Festival (QAF), an annual, professional, artist-run, multidisciplinary 2SLBGTQIA+ fest, taking place primarily at our QAF festival hub at Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre, and year-round at our home base in the heart of Vancouver's Chinatown, SUM gallery, located within the iconic Sun Wah Centre.

We work on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwəta? (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. To these host nations, we say thank you for your stewardship of this land since time immemorial. We recognize their sovereignty, as there are no treaties on these lands, and we are committed to building right relations based on respect and consent.
